“I just want to stay creative, share my ideas and see where it all leads.”

I never lie to my fans.

When I’m on family road trips, there is always Ranchera playing.

When I was 11, I decided to start rapping, playing guitar, and writing songs. Everything really blossomed from there.

My only way of getting my uncles’ attention or aunts’ attention or whoever’s attention was by dancing and singing around the house.

Can’t Stop Dancing’ is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I’m a little bit more mature for my age.

I’m all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they’re just listening to the song.

I look at old performance videos now, and it’s really funny – I thought I was such a gangster!

Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it’s donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.

My family are my friends.

If I can, I love staying in pajamas all day and watching movies and eating good food.

I think confidence is a true form of beauty.

I’ve definitely accepted the fact that I’m not normal.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming… a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

I’m like, ‘Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I’m OK with who I am and I’m happy with who I am?’

Coffee is my water now.

I figured, ‘Why not go into entertainment?’ I love entertaining people. I always loved being extra loud.

Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.

Keep a note pad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 A.M.

I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.

In order to be creative, you don’t have to be original.

Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature.

I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It’s a metaphor for women’s lives, their creativity.

Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.

All truly great art is optimistic. The individual artist is happy in his creative work. The fact that practically all great art is tragic does not in any way change the above thesis.
